THEY ARE not more than half civilized
down in Mexico. but they know how to
do some things better than we on this
side of the border. For instance, the
other day some Greasers wanted to re-
venge themselves on the railroad which
had accidentally hurt one of them, aud
they placed some distractions on the
track, causing the death of one or two
of the train hands. Immediately every
body at all likely to have been impli-
Gated in the affair was arrested. The
investigation showed that three were
guilty and these three were promptly
taken out and shot. This may be re-
garded as a barbarous and irregular
way of administering justice, but it is a
most effective way and one which will
bear good fruit. Dynamiters and train
wreckers ought to be dealt with in q
manner to make them understand that
their crimes are the very worst on the
calendar.

THE WASHINGTON Star says: 1.-The
so-called Utah act relating to polygamy,
bigamy. adultery. and kindred crimes,
and providing severe penalties, is I'M
questionably, in part at least, in force in
Washington, as place over which the
United States have exclusive jurisdic-
tion." The law is a good and needed
one, here. The District may profit by
the crumbs which fall to it, un-
intentionally, from the legislative table.
If any gay and festive members among
the enacting legislators tumble into
their own pit, they must scramble out
again as best they can, without count.
ing on much sympathy" 1t would be
amusing to witness the scramble if any
of the gay and festive members were to
tumble into the pit, and it would be
excrutiatingly funny if a certain member
who had more to do with the act than
any other were to be found in the pit.

THE INCORRIGIBLEs.

The Connecticut House of Repre-
sentatives has adopted new principle
IL criminal legislation. 1t has passed
bill providing that when criminal has
been three times convicted of crime,
The minimum penalty for which is two
years imprisonment. he shall be SEN
fenced to an additional term of twenty
five years. The theory is that the fellow
is incorrigible, and that society, for its
prJtec ion shonId permanently restrain
MIN. We believe it would be better If
al our criminal laws were framed in
harmony with this theory, from those
which apply to the common drunk and
disturber of the peace, to the most
attrocious offenders. Three objects are
aimed at in penal laws. One is the
punishment Of the criminal, another is
the effect of the example upon evil
doors, and the other tie welfare
or protection of society. II the
burglar, the moment he is set at liberty,
returns to burglarizing, the purposes OF
the law will be better subserved by
making his punishment more severe
and restraining him longer Of his
liberty. he has shown that moderate
term of i'm prisonment will not cure
him. and assuredly society has the
right to protect itself against his opera
lions. If a longer term Will not have
the effect of reforming him, he is in
corrigible, and the community can with
consistency place him permanently I'M
der restraint. As the punishment Of
Imprisonment is also intended to re-
strain others who are disposed to do
evil, if two or five years will have any
restraining influence twenty-five years
will have far greater influence.
There should be less power of discre-
ton in the court and more should be
fixed positively by the law. In other
words, let the law deny leniency in
the case of those who give no promise
or hope of reformation.
We would like TO see this principle
applied in the case OF the petty offend
ers whose names appear so often in the
police court. reports that all newspaper
readers are familiar with them, and can
the crime when they hear the
n lame of the offender. If a fine of $500
will not prevent a man from INDUCING
in an offensive drunk every week, fine
him $40, and keep on increasing the
penalty until he has been made to uDs
derstand that society will not tolerate
the nuisance which he creates. So also
with those fellows who are for ever en-
gaging in fights and saloon brawls. In
crease the penalties until one has been
reached that is severe enough to have
the effect which the law makers in
tended it should have.

REGISTER.

Inquiry among the registration Off
GERS develop the TACT that large per-

chise are de lining 10 take the oath and
register The rsiu8ais are confined t.
no party, De ocrat and Republicans
Mormons and Liberals with holding
their names from the lists. The OBJ
jectlons are various. Some say it j
al insult to require those who have
broken no law, who have always con-
Quoted themselves as honorable and
loyal citizens, to take such an oath.
Others say they would not keep the
promise if they made it. hence they
will not take the obligation. Still others
declare that the privilege of voting in
this country is of so little value that
they do not propose to put themselves
under restraint for the sake ofq &C
quirins it. And so it goes. the declina-
tons being so numerous as 10 astonish
the registrars.
This is matter over viii h the
individual has absolute control, as re
CARDS his own actions. Each can prom
Use to ohey the law or refuse to swear,
as he pleases and prefers, but all
should understand that the swallowing
Of the oath is absolutely essential to the
exercise of the franchise. All should
know also, that vote will have greater
value in Utah next August than ever
before in this Territory. Fully one
third OF the voting population have
been uncerenloniously disfranchised;
no amount of oath-taking will restore
the ballot to them. The officials mus
be chosen and government carried on
by the two-thirds. II what we have
been told is true, 80 per cent. of the
two-thirds decline to register, hence, it
will be tseen that the voting must be
done by comparatively small proper
ton of the population.
THE HERALD would urge no one to
take the oath against his coz
scientious convictions. We would ask
nobody to take it who did not at the
time he subscribed his name, propose to
honestly observe the obligation. At the
same time We would urge upon all those
citizens who are interested in having
good and economical government, the
importance of doing what they con-
scientiously can, to insure the con-
tinusnce of such government. The well
fare of the public requires that every
honest man shall do his duty at this
time, and we hope that nobody will
permit mere sentiment to interfere
with the performance of his duty to
himself and the community. When the
registration shall close, we sincerely
hope it cannot be said that thirty per
cent. of those who could lawfully vote
have refu ed to avail themselves of the
privilege.

MINISTER PHELPS, who represents the
United States at the Court of st. James,
is reported as saying that the "Ameri-
can people, as rule, are not in favor OF
home-rule for Ireland" Mr.. Phelps
probably never said any such thing, be-
cause he is an honest and truthful man.
and would not be likely to make a
statement which would be certain to
call forth an emphatic denial. The
American people, as rule. are IN favor
of home-rule for everybody, except the
Mormons. and as to them the Ameri
can people would not object to home
rule if it were not for the politicians
and preachers.

1t WOULD appear from the persistency
Of many of the newspapers, that they
accept in good earnest the New York
HeraId's joke about making Editor
Grady, of the Atlanta Constitution, vice
presidential candidate on the ticket with
Cleveland. IF the verdant editors would
hesitate long enough to think
for moment they would
know that the Democratic party
is not in the habit of nominating
for the presidency men who are
x own to the nationIonly through one
after dinner speech. Mr.. Grady is a
clever editor and can make a pretty
speech, out the national Democracy
which put on the second place in it's
ticket the name of the true and tried
and brilliant statesman, Thomas A.
Hendricks, is not apt to drop to the
editor of country newspaper. There
will be plenty of time for Grady in the
sweet bye-and-hy.

THE ALEXANDRIA (Va } Gazette says
Under the anti-Mormon law jurors in
Utah are compelled to swear they will
never be guilty of polygamy or IN
lawful cohabitation. This oath is al
ways exacted by the anti-Mormon law
off ;ials. But the lawyers there now
demand that as the law referred to also
prohibits adultery and fornicstion,
jurors be required TO swear they will
never be guilty of those offenses also.
TO this latter oath the Gentiles object
as much as the Mormons do to the
former, and with both enforced, the
selection of jury in Utah is no easy
matter"

BIRDS THAI DRINK SEER.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The little hotels be-

Widowed paviIlions overlooking the
placid Harlem and pretty Fordham
heights, were quite deserted by Wis
itors, even in the warm days of
last month. A couple drinking beer

that fpttered about their heads, finally
alighting on the table and greedily drink
ing from the beer puddles thereon. AGAIN
and again were the wet spots Oh the table

birds satisfied their thirst. few contented-

beer said they were cedar birds, and that
he had trapped in the back yard. He kept
them Gagged for three weeks, and after that
gave them the freedom of the pavilion. He
does not know how them came to lind out
that beer was good, but they now seek 1T

4 TRAGEDY AT SEA.
The Story Brought Out by the Arrest of a
Captain for Murder.

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 5.-Captain NJ L.
Halves, of PHILADELPHIA commander OF
the bark Freeman, which arrived from
the East Indies this morning, was
arrested on the charge of kill
ing one of his seamen The bark
sailed from Philadelphia last year for
Yokohoma and on his arrival at that port
for some reason the crew was discharged
and another one shipped. The new sea-
men, with the exception of the steward
were all natives of Japan. Among the
number was Katudaka Kitunatsu, a we'll
built Young fellow After the cargo
brought from Philadelphia was discharged
Captain HAYES set sail for Cuba where he
was to receive part OF cargo for Boston
parties.
After being s few days out from Cuba
kilunaTsu began to act badly and became
very inSolent, aud paid no attention to the
orders Of Capt. HAYES. At o'clock in
the morning of August 6 both men hap
pened to meet in the cabin. The captain
then told kitunatSu that he had stood his
insolence as long as he cared to. and that
he must obey orders The Japanese
left the cabin very angry and
hot words had passed between them the
captain slapped the seaman in the face
In an instant the japanese sprang at him
like tiger. He seized the captain around
the body and made a desperate atternpt to
throw him overheard. At one time he
nearly succeeded and bur for the can

considerable trouble. succeeded in GETTING

kitunatsu then walked forward and en-

that the other seamen would take sides
with kitunatsu sent the steward after the
japanese with instructions to tell him to
come on deck at once. The steward did as
directed. but the seaman sent back word

WOOL GROWERS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-A number OF gen
tlemen representing wool growers and
wool dealers met at the Ebbitt house to-
night for the purpose of considering what
should be done to revive the wool industry
of the country. The Hon. Columbus
Delano, of Ohio, president of the National
Wool Growers ASSOCIATION, pre-
sided. Mr. Fl. L. Thompson and
others represented Chicago merchants and
there were also dealers present from other
cities. The object is to secure harmony
among the different branches of the wool
industry and to fix basis of duty upon
which dealers, growers and manufacturers
can unite. 1t was not thought advisable
to ask congress to increase the duty, but II
was the belief that congressional action
might be secured on bill which would
more early equalize the burdens of the
present tariff.
